About

The Libertarian Vindicator is a political news website dedicated to political commentary that advances the principles of economic and personal liberty.
We believe that respect for individual rights is the essential precondition for a free and prosperous world, that force and fraud must be banished from human relationships, and that only through freedom can peace and prosperity be realized.
Consequently, we defend each person’s right to engage in any activity that is peaceful and honest and welcome the diversity that freedom brings. The world we seek to build is one where individuals are free to follow their own dreams in their own ways, without interference from government or any authoritarian power.

Since joining the Libertarian Party in 2016 (after discovering Gary Johnson as a disaffected Bernie Sanders supporter), Luke Henderson has been active in the liberty movement through journalism, and political activism.

At the beginning of 2017, Luke had his first piece of writing published by Being Libertarian and quickly became a contributor to the libertarian news site, The Libertarian Vindicator. Through the Vindicator, Luke discovered his passion for addressing critics of the philosophy and bringing together different factions of liberty lovers which compelled him to become an editor for The Libertarian Coalition, a forum dedicated to an open-minded discussion of libertarian ideas from all walks.

After many guest contributions to Being Libertarian, Luke was asked to join the website as a contributor, where he writes his column Scoring For Liberty, which discusses sports, politics, and economics from a libertarian lens, and his Educator series that seeks to strengthen libertarian’s understanding of educational techniques and policy to better arguments against public education.

Luke is one of the District 1 Executive Committeemen for the Missouri Libertarian party, the founder of the Missouri Chapter of the Libertarian Positivity Caucus, and currently works for the Austin Petersen for U.S. Senate and Larry Sharpe for New York Governor campaigns. Outside of politics, Luke is a paraprofessional for the Special School District of St. Louis, a musician, composer, and a loving husband and father.

Bryce was born on March 10,, 1982 in Berlin Vermont. He was raised in my ancestral hometown of Chelsea Vermont. Originally a member of the moderate left, he was turned onto libertarianism after suffering the ill effects of the penalty from the Affordable Care Act. Despite traveling across the political spectrum in my life, Bryce has always been an ardent second amendment supporter ( as it has been originally understood). He writes crime fiction as well as my articles regarding libertarianism. He does not want to be known as a libertarian writer, but as a writer who happens to be a libertarian. Bryce has been involved in dog rescue since the end of 2012. Being the son of a Vietnam veteran he has a strong appreciation for our servicemen. Bryce is a full-time cook, but as soon as he can start to make a living at writing, he plans on retiring from that. Bryce enjoys hiking, Vermont winters, spending time with his puppies and hanging out with his friends.

Brad Barnhard graduated from Rowan University with a B.A in Radio/Television/Film and parlayed that experience into his own self-titled, liberty minded, podcast. His love for writing soon led to him writing about the Libertarian party and different current issues. An advocate for free markets and personal choice, Brad is also a believer in the Austrian School of Economics. While he does not consider himself a member of the Libertarian Party for a few reasons, it is the party he admits he connects with the most.

James Wilson

James Wilson has grown up in small towns all across the state of NY throughout his life. Through his schooling, he never was really into politics and just wanted to get through the classes. Realizing, later on in life, that most of the info that was being presented was not entirely true or accurate.

James has spent the last decade researching many of the “Official Stories” that have rocked the world, in an attempt to truly understand what is happening on this globe.

Some would say that he is a Libertarian, but in essence, he is a human that just wants to be free. James would state that if that means Libertarian to you, then he is a Libertarian.

He has always been a writer since a teenager and is now just getting into officially launching a writing career. His poetry and short stories and more can be found on his Patron page HERE (link: https://www.patreon.com/jimmyjames78)

His goal with these works on Libertarian Vindicator is to help expand the minds of the readers, challenging their points of view and preconceived judgments on the way that the world works.
